We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully (欺负) others, nor
should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car divers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them
the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes
called a "black and white" view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but other argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that
stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so 11 when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is 12 .
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to 13 others. However, some people
argue that rules may be 14 , having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some
regulations and others have different ones -- so who is to 15 what is right ? |

companies.
Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general
public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.
An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on
Saturday and Sunday afternoons-the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising
time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.
Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising
dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising
departments of major corporations realize that sports attract made viewers. They also realize that most
business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars
and life insurance.
Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率)are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and
business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling
high-priced cars. business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks
continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings.

need high ratings to stay on the air. | | 1. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons . | A. result in more sport event

Cochrane,wanted a job at a large newspaper. The editor agreed,if she would investigate a hospital for
people who were mentally sick and then write about it.
Elizabeth Cochrane decided to become a patient in the hospital herself. She used the name Nellie
Brown so no one would discover her purpose. Newspaper officials said they would get her released
(释放) after a while.
To prepare,Nellie put on old clothes and stopped washing. She went to a temporary home for
women. She acted as if she had severe mental problems. She cried and screamed and stayed awake
all night. The police were called. She was examined by doctors. Most said she was insane.
Nellie Brown was taken to the mental hospital. It was dirty. Waste material was left outside the
eating room. Bugs ran across the tables. The food was terrible:hard bread and gray-colored meat.
Nurses bathed the patients in cold water
and gave them only a thin piece of cloth to wear to bed.
During the day,the patients did nothing but sat quietly. They had to talk in quiet voices. Yet,Nellie
got to know some of them. Some were women whose families had put them in the hospital because
they had been too sick with fever. Now they were well,but they could not get out.
Nellie recognized that the doctors and nurses had no interest in the patients" mental health. They
were paid to keep the patients in a kind of jail. Nellie stayed in the hospital for ten days. Then a lawyer
from the newspaper got her released.
Five days later,the story of Elizabeth Cochrane"s experience in the hospital appeared in the New
York World Newspaper. Readers were shocked. They wrote to officials of the city and the hospital
protesting the conditions and patient treatment. An investigation led to changes at the hospital.
Elizabeth Cochrane had made a difference in the lives of the people there. She made a difference
in her own life too. She did not write it as Nellie Brown,however,or as Elizabeth Cochrane. She wrote
it under the name that always appeared on her newspaper stories:Nellie Bly. Later,Nellie Bly became

The sea is the biggest unknown part of our world. It covers seventy-one percent of the earth. There
is still much to be discovered about this vast blanket of water. If the waters of the ocean could be removed,the sea floor with its wide
valleys,irregular mountains and rivers in the sea would be an unbelievable sight.
Tourism under the deep blue sea
Tourists can now explore the world beneath the waves without ever getting wet. From tourist
submarines to underwater dining,undersea tourism is making a big splash.
Tourist submarines (潜艇)
The popularity of submarine tours has grown rapidly in the last decade. Now,tourist submarines
operate in more than 20 locations worldwide,including the waters around Okinawa and Taiwan"s Green
Island. The submarines carry nearly 2 million tourists each year. Large windows offer passengers
spectacular views as the submarines explore colorful coral reefs and sunken ships. Most one-hour tours
cost about $80.

the restaurant,which rests
35 feet beneath the waves of the Indian Ocean. Transparent walls surround the dining area,and you can
treat guests to a panoramic(全景) ocean view. But this excellent view doesn"t come cheap. The tasting

bribe(贿赂) ,buc is close to it.
All sorts of people are apple-polishers,including politicians and people in high offices-just about
everybody. Oliver Cromwell,the great English leader,offered many gifts to win the support of George
Fox and his party,but failed.
There are other phrases meaning the same thing as " apple-polishing" ," soft-soaping" or
"buttering-up". A gift is just one way to " soft-soap" somebody,or to "butter him up". Another that is just
as effective is flattery(讨好,奉承) ,
giving someone high praise-telling him how good he looks,how well he speaks,or how talented and wise
he is.
Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist (抵
抗) the thrill (兴奋) of being told how wonderful he is. In truth,flattery is good medicine for most of us,
who get so little of it.
We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It can not hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we
just take in its good value and nourishment(营养) ,then we can still remain true to ourselves.
Sometimes,however,flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good
example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired
of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣) .They overpraised him to the skies,as a
man of limitless power.
He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered
the waves to stop coming in. The tide(潮水 ) was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied.
This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was. | | 1. Which of the following activities has nothing to do with" apple-polishing" ? | A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.
B. An employee tells his boss how good he is at management.
C. A king is said to be of limitless power by his followers.
D. A teacher praises his students for their talent and wisdom. | | 2. Which of the following statements about flattery is TRUE according to the writer ? | A. Too much flattery can carry us away.
B. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.
C. Flattery can get you nothing but excessive pride.
D. Flattery is too empty to do people any good. |
